Just looked at the profile, the first 11 miles tis all downhill barring a evil looking hump at 6. So that means the rest of the race is spent gaining 1100ft in elevation??? I just compared it to the Cornish and there's only a 600ft gain. Wibble.

Temptation is to go too fast until Ashburton, hold it back as the 1.75 mile hill out of the town is pretty tough. After that it isn't reall flat again until the run back to Princetown, which has a nice hill just to round things off. Great course.
